Tina Leavitt, LICSW

Tina Leavitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work from Rhode Island College. She holds the LICSW credential, a license to practice clinical social work, and applies that training to support children, adolescents, and families facing emotional and behavioral challenges.

Tina focuses on helping young people and their caregivers understand and manage emotions and behaviors through a warm, collaborative, strength-based approach. She partners with parents and children to address practical barriers that affect daily life, using creative, developmentally appropriate techniques such as play therapy and art therapy alongside mindfulness and cognitive behavioral strategies.

Her work integrates a range of clinical approaches to meet each family's needs, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused techniques. Tina also brings experience addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family dynamics, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, obsessions and compulsions, and phobias. She tailors interventions to the child or family she is working with to build skills, resilience, and practical strategies for everyday life.
